Advice and tips before washing Here are some tips that may help you before washing. Sorting your laundry Sort items according to: • how soiled they are • colour • material Clothing 1. Do up zips and close Velcro straps so that they don’t harm fabrics. 2. New coloured items may contain excess dye and should therefore be washed separately the first few times. 3. Turn delicate items inside out. This reduces the risk of burling and fading. 4. Empty pockets and wash them inside out if possible.
Advice and tips before washing Wool Economy and efficiency These fabrics are labelled either machine wash or hand wash. The Wool/hand wash program is at least as gentle as washing by hand. You can save energy by not using higher temperature programs than necessary. • Select Quick if you just need to freshen up shirts or exercise clothes, for example. This will save both water and energy. • If you select a fast spin speed, this reduces energy consumption when drying in a tumble dryer or drying cabinet.
Advice and tips before washing Note! Due to environmental concerns, we discourage the use of strong chemicals. When using agents for bleaching or stain removal, there is a risk of rust (corrosion) and discolouration of the machine.
Washing 1 Sort your laundry. Note! See the "Advice and Tips before washing" section. Detergent overdosing does not give better washing results; it merely causes a greater impact on the environment; can also hinder the wash performance. Place underwired bras in a laundry net. Empty pockets. Coins, nails and the like can cause damage to the machine and fabrics. See the "Advice and Tips" section before washing.

Care and cleaning Cleaning the trap and the drainage pump The washing machine has a trap where coins, hairpins and the like can collect. To clean the trap and the drainage pump, do as follows: 1. Make sure the machine is empty of water and switched off at the mains. Cleaning the detergent compartment Note! Do not wash the detergent compartment in a dishwasher! Pull the detergent compartment out as far as it will go. 2. Open the door.
Care and cleaning Cleaning the inside of the machine to avoid unpleasant smells Modern detergents often allow clothes to be washed at low temperatures. This means that small deposits can build up in the machine. These, in turn, may lead to unpleasant smells developing; especially if constantly using cold wash. To avoid this, we recommend running a 95°C wash program once a month. When you do this, use a small quantity of detergent. It is not necessary to put any washing in the machine.
Care and cleaning Rinse holes under the agitator If you have hard water If you suspect that objects such as nails or paper clips may have fallen into the wash drum, you should check the space under the agitator. Such objects can rust and cause spots on clothing. Nails and other sharp objects can cause holes in fabrics. If you live in an area with hard water (high limescale content), a greyish-white coating may form on the wash drum. To remove this, empty a sachet of citric acid, approx.
